This Saturday, Wekiva Island will be closed until 5:00 p.m. for our annual Fall Egg Fest. We’d love for you to join the fun—grab your ticket and be part of the festivities. After 5:00 p.m., the Island will reopen and welcome guests as usual.
Your River Adventure
Welcome to the heart of adventure at Wekiva Island, where every moment is an opportunity to connect with nature and unwind in the beauty of Florida’s pristine waterways. Whether you’re paddling down the Wekiva River, lounging by our scenic waterfront, or enjoying a lively event under the stars, there’s something for everyone.
Fun For All
Water Rentals
Wekiva Island is the perfect place to enjoy outdoor activities in Orlando. Explore all the ways to get active with us with our canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards.
Bring Your Own
Launches
Looking to launch your own canoe, kayak, paddleboard or large inflatable? We charge $10 per vessel on weekdays and $20 on weekends. Want to launch your own boat (25 HP or less)? The fee is $10 on weekdays and $50 on weekends due to river traffic. If you would like to park your car at Wekiva Island and self-shuttle to another location on the river, it is $25, and the vehicle must be removed by closing time, which varies. Please note: dogs cannot accompany guests on vessels.
White Sand
Volleyball
Volleyball is a favorite group activity at the Island. Our regulation-size sand volleyball court is located behind our main building and is available for groups to reserve. We have bleachers for friends or bystanders to cheer on their team – whether you’re playing competitively or for just your own recreation. Time may be limited or matches may rotate to accommodate other guest reservations.
Jump In
Swimming
What better way to cool off than to jump in the river? Wekiva River remains a constant 72 degrees all year round, and guests are welcome to enjoy swimming along the boardwalk area or in other designated swimming locations along the river. Outside floats are welcome. Large floats will be charged a small fee. Please note: There are no lifeguards on duty, and no diving is permitted from anywhere along the boardwalk. This is a natural Florida River & wildlife is present.
Cast Away
Fishing
The Wekiva River is well known for its fishing and is filled with a variety of fish. Fishing is not allowed from our shores as there is too much human activity. However, guests are encouraged to bring their own bait and tackle and the cast from boats, canoes, kayaks or paddleboards.
